Actor and Activist Dallas Goldtooth (Reservation Dogs)

Reservation Dogs and Fallout's, Dallas Goldtooth joins Joshua to discuss North American Indigenous history and his love of sci-fi. How his decades working as an organizer and activist taught him that a powerful story is a necessity to instigate change in the world. Dallas talks how books are a therapeutic escape but also a way for him to comb stories for morsels of imagining a more vibrant way of living. He and Joshua examine how story can exist in a compelling but non-violent way in a more ideal world and Dallas lends an example through a myth of his people involving a snow giant and a trickster as allegory for the very real dangers of the winter cold. This is the first remote episode of the podcast, Joshua records from inside a study room at the library and Dallas from his son's room. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
